System Update and RSS feeds don't work (or "no news is good news")

[alocksley]

My Moto Droidx upgraded itself to Android 2.2 and since then, the RSS feeds I had are not showing any new entries. Checking the underlying websites shows that new entries have been made.

Any attempt to create new Moto or Andrioid RSS news widgets comes back with an error (of course it just says "error" with no number or explanation).

Has anyone else seen this?   Is there some news blackout in placeIs there a fix or a way to back off Android 2.2???

Thanks.

I have provided some steps below that may help.

Step 1 – Try completing a soft reset on the device. I have provided the instruction in an article below:

Power off the device and remove the battery

Step 2 – Remove the widget and icon off the devices home screen and clear out the data and cache. I have provided the instruction article below:

Clear data, Clear cache (if applicable), and Clear defaults

Step 3 – Put the device into safe mode. Safe mode is a method that allows the device to run without non-essential applications. This is beneficial for troubleshooting 3rd party applications. I have provided the instruction in an article below:

If it works correctly in safe mode, there may be a application not native to the device causing the issue
